PRESIDENT Since co-founding Rolling Press in 1998, Eugene Lee has gone on to put Rolling Press on the global map for sustainable practices. For over eight years, Eugene helped organize and co-host the monthly social networking event Brooklyn GreenDrinks. He has spoken at Fortune 500 corporations and academic institutions about sustainable graphic design and printing, and in 2007, he was a judge for Blackbook’s first annual Corporate Social Responsibility Annual Reports competition. Raised in Park Slope, Brooklyn, from which he attributes much of his early exposure to progressive views, Eugene attended New York University where he studied Graphic Communications Management and Technology at the School of Education. After receiving his degree, he taught there for three years, and later served as a member of its Board of Advisors for two years. He was also an assistant instructor at the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University. Eugene’s lifetime of experience in the printing industry has left him with a deep respect for traditional craftsmanship, while his experience as a designer means he is always looking for innovation and seeking new ways to make printing environmentally sustainable for generations to come. His passion is creating print products that are “transparently green” – beautiful, well-crafted printed materials that are also environmentally friendly. When the presses are at rest, Eugene keeps busy as a freelance graphic designer and production artist for Rizzoli Publications. Some titles included are: Kohn Pedersen Fox: Architecture and Urbanism: Vol. 3 and Vol. 4, Roger Vivier, Rick Owens, Lanvin, Chip Kidd: Book One, Retail: Shopping and Architecture, and New New York. Eugene still lives in Brooklyn, with his beautiful wife and above-average daughter, and misses the warm, orange glow of sodium-vapor street lamps. EUGENE LEE
